Chennai Super Kings, the two-time Indian Premier League champions are back. The fans of the franchise are excited and so is their leader is obviously ecstatic . With the two-year ban on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) ending and the BCCI formally welcoming back the two franchises in IPL, but CSK captain MS Dhoni, who spent two years with Rising Pune Supergiant (formerly Rising Pune Supergiants) in the IPL, celebrated it in style.

Dhoni posted a photograph of himself wearing a CSK jersey, sporting his customary jersey number ‘7’ and the Tamil word ‘Thala’ written over it. ‘Thala’ in Tamil translates to ‘leader’.

Chennai Super Kings have also won the now-defunct Champions League T20 twice, in 2010 and 2014. CSK were banned in 2015 when the Supreme Court-appointed Justice RM Lodha Committee announced their decision, in wake of the IPL 2013 spot-fixing and betting scandal.

“Jaipur IPL claims it is highly celebrated as a nursery of players. But three of its players have accused of alleged spot-fixing. This shows that all is not well in their handling of affairs,” said former Chief Justice of India, RM Lodha.
